Hi StratoSphere
I was kind of thinking the same thing, but from more of a "Pull it Apart" Technical point of view.
I wonder how closely they have copied one of the Boss pedals,
& it looks pretty well made, maybe even cast aluminum or Muck-metal, as my Eng. friends call it.

well graphically, its not really that close, but physical construction is an obvious clone.i bet it falls short on sound quality though

lets just say that its no PSK

Hey Strato

It goes off in about 15 mins.
Why don't you just buy it, you don't really have to eat for the next few days? Do you?

Just think - you could post pics of the internals & tell us all about how good or bad it sounds.
And then you could putt the guts out, & make it a tap tempo or some other dirt pedal.

And we all know how much you love your OD pedals.
Not to mention, that you would be the only bloke-person,
on your block to have your own Applause.

Regards Dr. Bob

well maybe if it was a phaser. im kinda drifting away from chorus lately, although the fact that its stereo keeps me rather interested.

Hi Strato & Guys

It's sort of sad , it was passed it, no-one bid on it.

I was thinking of bidding on it,
but the postage to Oz, was as much as the pedal.
